public class FilePatternMatcher
extends java.lang.Object
Matches filenames against an Ant-style wildcard pattern list.
In short, ? matches one character, * matches zero or more characters but no directory changes (it doesn't match / or \), and ** matches zero or more directory levels. If the wildcard pattern ends in / or \, an implicit ** is added.
Several patterns can be specified, seperated by : or ;.
Everything is case sensitive. If you need case insensitive pattern matching, use String.toLower() on the pattern and on the candidate string.
